In case you haven’t noticed, your AlabamaTeaParty.org blog is sort of indebted to Glenn Beck. The fact is that there wouldn’t be an ATP anything, were it not for Beck. He challenged us to step up, and we took the challenge. We don’t know what good, if any, we have done, but it beats just cussing at the TV and radio.

     The Glen Beck Show is sort of like an advanced nightly college course in American Government. It’s a shame that there is no college credit available, because, though his course is in-depth, challenging, and demanding, you can’t claim it for credit toward your degree at Freedom U.
     Beck…many like him, some hate, despise, and ridicule him. But have you noticed? As vile and violent as the harangues are… (even some by his brother and sister pundit peers) nobody has come forward to actually refute him.
     Beck’s greatest strength and weakness is that he presents to us, logically, and irrefutably, political concepts that many find alien to everything they ever knew. It’s a weakness in that not everyone is able or willing to follow his rather substantial curriculum.

     Let me help Beck, in a small way. Thanks to him, I was introduced to the book, Liberal Fascism by J.Jonah Goldberg  (Right)… The book is tedious. Goldberg works with one hand on the keyboard, and the other rapidly thumbing through his dog eared thesaurus looking for ever more strange words that no one has ever heard of.  It’s strictly college level. Yet, the book refuses to be laid away unfinished.
     After you take the book, burn it, and treat the ashes with strong chemicals, the residue that is left is this…
Whereas our core belief is that our American Constitution is immutable and sacred, and the most wise governing document ever conceived….the shocking fact is that not every American feels that way…
     The fact is that there are powerful people who believe that they can cobble up a new book of governing laws better than what we have now. They dabble with political theory for a hobby and make rules that all must live (or die) with for fun and enjoyment. To them it’s a game.
     Generally speaking, the people who do not believe as you or I do are called “progressives.” We have one running the country now, with a passel of like minded lieutenants in congress.
     To us, our belief in the United States Constitution is akin to our belief in God. We unfortunately don’t understand all of it, but we firmly believe in it…the same way we believe the ocean always touches the shore. It’s just a fact of nature. It’s kept the country strong since the founding and made the U.S.A the envy of the world. History shows that it is the system that works.
     The progressive, on the other hand, is a constitutional atheist on an ego trip. He lives by a set of ever changing cockamamie rules that are beyond logic. What’s more, he insists that you live by them too. Where you base your beliefs on history, the progressive bases his on the political flavor of the day. His constitution is a living document, not bogged down by historical precedent. He’s the smartest one in the room, you see, and you and I are just too dumb to worry with.
     More is the pity, if the progressive gets his way. He can’t see more than 5 minutes into the future, and to him, the past is irrelevant. His method of catch as catch can…can only work as long as the ship of state we all sail in remains seaworthy. While he’s busy up forward, painting the ship’s wheel, the entire length of the hull is rotting away underneath him. Sooner, rather than later, the damage is beyond repair, and the ship sinks, taking all hands with her…us included.
     Beck sees what’s coming if the shadows of the future aren’t changed. Goldberg sees it too. All faithful Beck viewers see it.
     Hannity has a secret plan…
